Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequent cancer worldwide. Although its incidence is increasing, mainly in those aged under 50, mortality has decreased by 50 % in the more developed countries, principally due to the adoption of new practices in prevention, diagnosis and treatment. In particular, the various diagnostic imaging modalities allow improved therapeutic decision-making, evaluation of the response to and efficacy of new therapies and early detection of recurrence. The aim of this paper is to review the available scientific evidence on the value of positron emission tomography with 18F-FDG (18F-FDG PET / CT) in the CCR, with special emphasis on the indications of the guidelines and recommendations of the main international scientific associations regarding this imaging technique.

Resumen

El cáncer colorrectal (CCR) es el tercer cáncer en frecuencia a nivel mundial. Aunque su incidencia está aumentando, fundamentalmente en menores de 50 años, su mortalidad ha disminuido un 50% en los países más desarrollados, principalmente debido a la adopción de nuevas prácticas en la prevención, diagnóstico y tratamiento. En particular, las diversas modalidades de diagnóstico por imagen permiten mejorar la toma de decisiones terapéuticas, la evaluación de la respuesta y la eficacia de las nuevas terapias y la detección precoz de la recidiva. La finalidad del presente trabajo es hacer una revisión de la evidencia científica disponible sobre el valor de la tomografía por emisión de positrones con 18F-FDG (18F-FDG PET/TC) en el CCR, haciendo especial hincapié en las indicaciones de las guías y recomendaciones de las principales asociaciones científicas internacionales respecto a esta técnica de imagen.
